Abstract

Apparatus for straightening elongate material such as wire (6) has a rotary member (12, 14) which has a passage through which the wire (6) is fed. The wire is guided through the passage by guide means which include deflection means such as sleeves (114; 314) for deflecting the material away from the axis of rotation (174) of the rotary member (12, 14). The apparatus is characterised in that the deflection means is set so as to cause the path taken by the wire (6) to have a first curved portion directed away from the axis (174), followed by a second portion which is substantially parallel with the axis of rotation (174) or is less tightly curved than the first portion. Both portions are disposed on the same side of the axis of rotation (174). Where the deflection means comprises sleeves, each sleeve may be internally flared at its ends (122, 124) and may include a central cylindrical internal surface (126) of a diameter substantially the same as that of the wire so that the wire is straight as it passes through the cylindrical section, but is curved at the flared ends of the sleeve. The straight, or less tightly curved portion of the wire enables the curved portions to have a greater radius of curvature, and this is believed to improve the effectiveness of the apparatus. A method of straightening wire using such apparatus is also shown.
